Gia Scott-Heron daughter of the icon Gil Scott-Heron and Poets Jazz House…a fierce band of spoken word artists are spittin' fire and blazin' stages with the powerful intensity of truth and messages from a visionary and the thought provoking rhythms that made Gil Scott-Heron a world renown influential legend.
Still prevalent today are the timeless and classic words of Gil Scott-Heron; considered the GODFATHER OF RAP; although Gil professed to be a "BLUESOLOGIST" because his music was jazz and blues and spoken word that reflects the turbulence uncertainty and increasing pessimism of the times with a satirical edge told in the tradition of oral poetry and storytelling.
The ensemble cast includes Writer & Executive Producer Tuesday Conner; Conney Williams of the World Stage; Yawo Watts of Oralgasm; Lorenzo Frank from S.W.A.A.M.; ArtUs Mansoir a Multi–Talented Entertainer and the ORACLE aka Denise Lyles-Cook under the direction of Lynne Conner.
You'll hear his words again you'll cry and you'll laugh and your heart light will glow you'll fight back some tears you'll sing you'll know lyrics you haven't heard in a long while and you'll learn about the man...the icon the legend Gil Scott-Heron!
